How is the snake cable attached to the drum - Home

nothing
we can reduce the attraction by removing any food for rats and mice
clean up the area , remove ant tin drums that snakes can live under
the main thing is , snakes follow the food source so have no food source and they keep moving

Linda, the drum should have a handle which you may use to turn the drum for rewinding. On some snake drums the handle is folded toward out of the way to avoid catching on something when it is unwinding. If no handle is visible, perhaps you could improvise by using a two-foot piece of broom handle or something similar. Good luck. Herb

clean the snake ,and use HAND to push it back into the drum

Without a model number, I'm going to guess that you have the standard model that ISN'T drill driven it has an actual motor. There aren't many parts and it should've come in one piece from Home Depot of where ever you purchased it. The three main pieces are the drum, cable, motor and frame. To remove/install the drum, pull out the lever on the back lower part of the frame and pull the drum off the shaft. The motor is held on by four bolts that attach it to the motor mount. If you need to install a cable on this machine, push the cable in through the cable guide and attach it to the mount on the inside of the drum. As you face the drum the cable will wind counter clockwise.

I'm guessing all the cable is out of your manual auger and you can't get it to go back inside the drum. It's very easy, all you need to do is a small kink in the end of the wire about two inches from the end of the cable and push the cable in. The bend in the cable will start it turning inside the drum, then just push the cable inside the drum.

First thing I would check is it has a attachment hose, take off the bottom of the vacuum. Where the beater bar is and look for where the hose goes through the bottom of the vacuum, it should look like a piece of plastic pipe. Make sure that pipe is clear if it isn't the vacuum won't work. I had that problem before with a different vacuum, clear the clog and should take care of the issue. Also if you take the hose off and put your hand over the hose attachment piece you should feel suction, if you don't good indicator that line plugged up.

You can use your fingers to clear it out, if the hole hose is plugged, if you have a snake a or a cable tie, or some flexible use that to snake out the bottom part of the tube. It might make a mess so I'd do it outside or in the garage.

See if that is part of your problem, otherwise it has a canister to catch the dirt, make sure all the vents and ports are clear going into the canister .

At the shop we undo the cable at the starter and pull the battery and cable out as one. Fasten the positive cable to the battery before installation, then snake the cable back in as we replace the battery, Those things are a real pain!

Is the 9ch snake cable correctly connected? TOM 3 should be plugged into the 4th input and TOM 1 should be plugged into the 2nd input. (1- SNARE, 2 -TOM, 3 -TOM, 4-TOM, 5-RIDE, 6-CRASH.........)

you have to(carefully)pull the cable out of the housing. Be gentle and take your time because if you fray the end up it will be hard to slide back in. Feed it through the throttle end and then through the cable sheath and snake it back ti where it came from and re-attach. Good luck!

Your cable is generally sold as a one piece unit...cable inside housing. (same as a bicycle brake cable) Many even come with the release handle attached. Therefore, you simply feed the new one in exactly where the old one went and attach it to the lock mechanism. This can easily be done by attaching a wire to the latch end of the old unit and pulling it out from the drivers compartment, then attaching the new one to the wire and pulling it back through. In that way, you don't need to see it to install it (like snaking a wire through a finished wall, without opening the wall.)
If you do it carefully, it should not be that difficult.
Good Luck!!
